- currently, there is still a 5 arty per team hardcap in existence, it will not be reduced to lower number, average number of arty per team is 1-2

what fucking rock do the devs live under? ill go knock it over so they can enjoy the average 3-4 arty per team games im in almost every match on US clusters.

Only of the armoured box to be precise – without suspension, engine, transmission etc. And the proposed hull did not have ridiculous 90mm. That armour was penciled over the original requirement without any indication when or by whom. So it still is a fantasy tank.

“- no plans to introduce one-man training rooms”

Why not? In warthunder you can test drive a tank . It would be nice if there was something like that in WOT. It would also be nice if you can test drive a tank that you don’t have to see if it is worth the grind or not.

Heyyo,

@ janusmk, why are you on this WoT blog then? Lol, just saying, you sound like a door to door salesman trying to push your product onto us… :P

Yes, it is cool how War Thunder works on Linux and it works pretty good too… but like I said, until hardware support works properly on my current hardware configuration? Linux is just a hobby I tinker with for fun, just like Hackintosh.

I found War Thunder to be more stressful than World of Tanks tbh… mainly the match making I found extremely painful… stuff like how the T-50 was OP as fuck and how Gaijin refused to rebalance it because it’s “historical” or some crap… That’s why I like WarGaming’s gameplay over simulation strategy and how they’re willing to rebalance tanks again and again just to try and make the game more enjoyable.

That… and wow, when you get a crap team on War Thunder? The loss is exponentially worse due to respawning tanks and how often I found players rage-quitting before the match even ended… I don’t even know if there’s a major desertion pentalty or if the WT player base just doesn’t care about it because it’s not strict enough… but I came to the same conclusions as Jingles… I’ll be doing ok and trying to do objectives… but my team will camp in spawn and cost us matches… sigh. Yeah, WoT is definitely more my style, less headaches. :P

Heyyo,

Meh, as much as I enjoy Linux? NVIDIA SLI doesn’t work for shit… so only playing with one of my two GTX 680s? Not feasible for me to sacrifice my game performance..

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/224

… that… and also this…

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/221

So lack of Linux using my second GPU and my sound card hates Linux? That’s two major strikes against Linux where-as the World of Tanks and my hardware works flawlessly in Windows… so Linux is a fun hobby side-project for me… it’s still leagues behind Windows for replacing it as my primary OS.

Maybe WarGaming are going to focus more on revamping the BigWorld engine and make it “current gen”…

That… and also I hear bad things about the WoT Mac Wrapper which has been in beta form for quite a while (notice the main download page doesn’t have it only the forums) and it runs worse than using bootstrapper with Windows. :(

I know Linus Torvalds loves how Linux is succeeding on smart phones as Android… but on PC? The lack of great hardware support is the Achilles heel. It’s a fantastic OS with lots of great ideas and optimizations but it just doesn’t work right for my hardware configuration.

Regardless of the reason you uninstalled, you realize how hard it would be to have such a large amount of vehicles and not have many of them either paper projects or just proposals? Although many of the tanks in the game are “unhistorical”, the variety they provide is quite essential. There are enough tanks so that everyone can find a tank they like that fits their playstyle. Yes, although many of the vehicles are fake or very vague, that doesn’t mean they’re detrimental to the game.

I wonder what WT E-100 was supposed to do. Or many other super historical tanks we have in the game.

Actually the MT-25 is probably the the most historical “blueprint only” tank in the game. The armor is 40-45mm as described in the proposal. The gun proposed was a 47mm, most likely L11, and any turret capable of mounting that gun could also mount the Zis-4,the gun ingame. The estimated speed without tracks was 100kph, so the ingame 72 seems reasonable.
